Advisory Board

Craig Adelman founded Adelman Travel Group in 1985 with two employees and two computer terminals. Since then, Adelman Travel Group has become one of the top 10 travel management companies in the U.S. When he started Adelman Travel Group almost 30 years ago, it was with the idea of becoming the leader in providing on-site travel centers to corporations. While many larger travel management companies have moved to the mega reservation center concept, Craig’s philosophy has not changed. He believes in maintaining on-sites and smaller travel solution centers that continue to provide the level of exceptional customer service for which Adelman Travel Group has always been known. In 2005, Craig received Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Under Craig’s direction, Adelman Travel Group has received numerous awards, including the Service Business of the Year Award, given to companies that exemplify a dedication to customer service and strong employee and community relations. Craig earned his bachelor’s degree at the University of Wisconsin and his master’s degree at Fairleigh Dickinson University in England.
